When I create this table in any myspace blog it works fine if I only preview and post it, but when I go back and use the edit button on the same blog my table is suddenly displayed all as one row with only columns.

QUOTE

<table border=0>
<tr>
<th><p align=left>Baphomet Evisceration</th>
<th><p align=left>Self-Titled EP</th>
<th><p align=left><font color='FF0000'>EP, 2008</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th><p align=left>Carkemis</th>
<th><p align=left>The Death</th>
<th><p align=left><font color='FF0000'>Demo, 1999</th>
</tr>
</table

This is only an excerpt from my entire code. I can post the entire code if necessary.
There is also <hr width=50%> at the top of the code.

Again, it displays properly the first time it is posted- it is not until one returns to "Edit" the blog that things go wrong. It appears that when myspace tries to condition the code for display in their awesome "Design Mode", something goes wrong.

Hardly anyone of the regulars here uses MySpace. I wouldn't know how it works myself. But it would be better if you posted the address (url) of the page. then maybe someone will be able to help you.

What are you saying? I'm a major MySpace buff. MySpace, FaceBook, Blogger, Twitter - I'm everywhere!

Ifraid I don't know anything about how those sites work though.

Don't need to.

They are so userfriendly.

Blog A is how it looks after only the initial post.
Blog B is how it looks after any edit button is used.

Note that there are two other columns to the left of the red text, but I haven't bothered to change them from default black color yet. I apologize for that inconvenience. For now just make use of ctrl+a.

Ironic, isn't it? I'm almost positive it's their patented user-friendliness that's reeking havoc on my code.

So am I.

This edit button, it's connected to an online editor of sorts, I assume? So what did you after you clicked the button? What did you change or add?

Nothing at all- when I click the edit button I am redirected back to the same editor that one uses to initially post a blog. After using the edit button to redirect here I immediately find my code altered from this:

<th><p align=left>The Death</th>
<th><p align=left><font color='FF0000'>Demo, 1999</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th><p align=left>Carkemis</th>
<th><p align=left>Split w/ Atavism</th>
<th><p align=left><font color='FF0000'>Split, 2000</th>
</tr>

To this:

I should have posted the change in the actual code before now- sorry, I didn't think it through.

Note that I do finish the table tag later on in my code- this is only an excerpt.

EDIT: sorry about the inconvenient reformat of the thread- I copied and pasted the code directly into my post and I don't know how to change its effect.

If you don't use the edit button for anything, why do you keep clicking it? I find this all totally confusing.

Does the actual page change, or just what you see in that editor thing?
